Here is another Scottish Castle with a ongoing history. The Dalyell family has been living in this house since 1612. The house has belonged to a Trust set up for country houses. It was turned over in 1944 with the contingency that the family would still reside there even as it was opened for tours. It is in Linlithgow, 20 miles west of Edinburgh.
Oh and one branch of my family descends from Dalyell's who came to the colonies in the early 1700's. Harry Truman also comes from the same line. I first got to learn about this part of my family history at a program at the Truman Library. I found it pretty damn cool to know that my family has a castle out there. Someday I will see it!!
